The greatest LIVING American hero.

Betcha it’s going to be her father or boyfriend or something along those lines…

So, would you like the standard sized shovel, or this weeks special offer, Quick-Dig ™ Brand Supa- hole digger deluxe for only $19.95?

BTW, who would you pick?

But but but, Madonna knows the Kabbalah! She knows how to lay t’filin! And she married to Guy Ritchie! And she’s got a great body and she’s over 40! And a fake British accent!

And she was the material girl. Plus she’s reincarnated herself so many times it’s amazing.

Heroism is overrated.

Yeah. And that stupid Jesus guy only did it once.

I liked the thread better BEFORE we knew who it was.

Wow. That was anti-climactic.

No living person can be a hero.
They can only be a celebrity.
The title of “hero” is conferred, not by medals wealth or fame, but by Posterity & the judgement of History.

Only future generations will have the ability or the privilage to decide if somebody is a “hero”.

Leaving aside the excellent post above, who would you have picked pkbites?

Steve Wright, having had (and currently having) the vast majority of them as professors I can tell you two things:

  1. Some of them aren’t Americans
  2. I’d lay odds on a few of them not actually still being alive.

Also, Pamela Keller teaches Lawyering. That would be a hilariously apt last name, though.

Who is Herbert W. Armstrong?

We had a custodian at school named Herb, can it be the same guy?

He did a good job doing custodial stuff, but I don’t think it made him all that great a man.

I probably would have picked Johnny Knoxville.

Since no species is specified, my vote goes to Scarlett the cat. Anyone remember her? She was the brave creature who walked back into a burning building several times to carry each and every one of her kittens out. And she’s American, and, to the best of my knowledge, still alive.

“Believe it or not!”

A fast read didn’t reveal any of the astronauts, so I nominate Buzz Aldrin, the Bart-Bashing Hero.

Dilberts garbageman

Here is Herbert W. Armstrong

According to point 7 in his list of doctrines, we’re all Israelites people (except non-British Commonwealth and non-USA dopers)…

Was it Oprah?

I’m sorry, I’m going to need a cite on this.

Madonna with tefillin?

Actually, a cite may not be good enough. I might require an actual picture.

I was going to guess Albert Shanker, but he recently died.
